The last one is a cut above (or below) the other two 
I like the second one though. Seems the hanging judge had found a new way to humiliate and dispose of tourists caught speeding in his town

The trap door is amazing. Anticipation followed by sudden suspension.
bad enough they are going to impale me naked on that thing, but a photograph too? By tomorrow it will have gone viral on the Internet .... oh, not invented yet? ....ooopsie ..... well, the camera is the first step toward ever greater things, isn't it? Just ask RR about that. Now, how do you propose I get myself up on that point?

Meanwhile, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Especially not on my attic.
In an old trunk, I found some engravings, depicting a 16th century trial and execution of three female scholarsn, because they had spread ideas, that, for some reason, were dangerous to spread during the Inquisition era. So the scholars got arrested.
Their followers were rounded up too. They were publically whipped, and branded as heretics.
The three scholars were subjected to the standard inquisition interrogation practices.
Then, they were brought to trial.
"Thou shall be brought to a hilltop, along the road, just outside the city, and stripped naked..."
"Then, thou shall be put an a stake, and left there, so that you can contemplate your heresy, while the stake will slowly take possession of your bodies, and chase away the devil in you..."
"Thou shall be left there, in all weather, day and night, until the Lord will bring His mercy to you."
"Amen!"

I've often wondered what 'poke' means on Facebook -
now I see - impale your friends!
I may never look at facebook quite the same ever again. Also, why is it that I have only ever been impaled by my female FB friends?I've often wondered what 'poke' means on Facebook -
now I see - impale your friends!
That's a very effective pic there, Savarius.
Get's right to the point . . . . . . . . .

Loxuru,
Good story-telling with pictures. What you show and how you show it, gives a feeling of reality more than fantasy.

Thanks! I was inspired by the realism of those 16th century engravings. Showing historical events, they are a good resource for ‘action’ figures, such as soldiers, civilians and onlookers, monks, executioners, inquisitors, captives. They can also be used for making up the scenery and background. Manips sometimes need a little patience, by playing with the greyscales (or occasionally, brownscales) of the original (e.g. the arrests of the women on the first pic are derived of arrest scenes of males on the originals, from three different engravings). Hereby another version of the impalement scene.
